it's probably the mirror switch. They act funny when they are old. Mine will turn left if I go up and right and down if I go down. I've been told it's the switch. Dorman has one on Amazon for like $15

But would the switch have anything to do with the turn signals on the mirrors ??

ohh the signals. Well they have normal light bulbs in them my driver one was burnt out. You should have ford do it haha they break it they fix it. You have to take the mirror cap off. Is it like this mirror?

you have to turn the mirrors down to the ground and there's 2 clips you have to have a very little flathead screw driver and be very careful not to break the tabs or you'll need a new mirror cap.
